Michael Kors Fall 2012

Rugged elegance was Michael Kors's theme for Fall '12, showcasing an array of luxurious fur, blanket stripes, polished plaid, and languid sequin gowns. Staying true to his refined classics aesthetic, Kors delivered a collection filled with nostalgic winterwear remixed with an opulent and modern twist. Buffalo and tartan plaid were paired with leather and lace, while a wool herringbone dress was updated with an ombré feathered effect. Kors held nothing back when it came to statement fur; from sleeveless Mongolian vests to crimson stadium coats, textures were in full force. With some of Hollywood's golden girls in full attendance — we spotted Jessica Alba, Debra Messing, and Amber Heard sitting front row — eveningwear highlighted some gorgeous Oscars-worthy, '40s-inspired sequin gowns decorated with sheer sliced cutouts.
